AutoCAD vs. Microsoft Visio

It’s because my company DOES NOT own AutoCAD!!!... Maybe if they did, the boss MIGHT actually buy it, but this idiot is just rooting for "easy" Vision because it suits him—he's basically stuck in his ways and just wants to coast until retirement... Anyway, that's why I'm asking all the well-meaning colleagues—and even the ones who think they know everything—what they actually think about this thread... which program is TRULY better for electrical layouts... give me an objective answer, if you can..
Of course, whatever works best for you... For the kind of work you do, I bet Vision is plenty, but once you're forced to step up to a more heavy-duty program, you're gonna be screwed... At least that's my two cents, though I don't really do much drawing in CAD myself...
In my opinion, CAD is leagues ahead—you can do basically anything in it, whereas Vision is super limited... Honestly, I can't even wrap my head around how you'd draw electrical schematics or control panels in Vision... Isn't it totally useless for stuff like that? I mean, I have no idea...
